8-course tasting was delicious start to end, no misses.

The beef tartare was a big surprise for me & my husband. The addition of clam & kimchi really made that memorable.

The duck, will be dreaming of it, love the addition of rhubarb, oh & that duck wonton!

The crab, the white asparagus - such great flavor pairings on the plate.

Highly recommend!

Wow!
Mérite une étoile Michelin à mon avis. La bouffe est extraordinaire avec le pairing de vin est fantastique! Que dire du service? Impeccable! Atmosphère est incroyable! J'ai mangé dans plusieurs restaurants étoilés de Michelin …. alors c'est les mêmes standards!
Bravo!

Excellent tasting menu with well balanced flavours. Dishes were elegant, light & refreshing. This was probably my favourite restaurant I tried in Montreal & one of the few where the sauces on the food were not too salty! The cocktails were excellent as well. They also have a non-alcoholic drink pairing with the tasting menu which sounded very good, but I did not try it. Highly recommend.

We had the five course tasting menu with the Canadian wine pairings & it was, quite frankly, the most delicious meal I've had in Montreal. I was so impressed at the flavour & quality of every dish, each presented so elegantly without being over the top or gimmicky. Service was outstanding in every way. We specifically want to shout out our sommelier, who did such a stunning job with the wine pairings. This spot is NOT to be missed. I already look forward to returning! Thank you to Bouillon Bilk for an unforgettable anniversary dinner!

Took my wife here for her birthday. Service & atmosphere were both great. We were excited to try the tasting menu with wine pairing but honestly found it underwhelming. My wife's a foodie & a bit picky; I'm not, & I'll eat just about anything, we both felt about half the dishes were just'meh.' Beautiful presentation, but the flavors didn't always land.

An Exceptional Culinary Journey Worth the Splurge

We recently had the pleasure of dining at a luxurious restaurant offering an eight-course tasting menu with wine pairings-& it was nothing short of extraordinary.

From start to finish, the service was impeccable: attentive, professional, & perfectly paced. Each dish was a revelation-thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, & bursting with creativity. The flavors were refined & surprising, with combinations that felt both daring & harmonious. It was clear that every plate was the result of meticulous work & culinary artistry.

Of course, such an experience comes at a high price. But for a special occasion, it was absolutely worth it. We left feeling delighted, inspired, & grateful for the experience. If you're looking to treat yourself or celebrate something meaningful, this is a place to remember.

We opted for the five-course tasting menu with a non-alcoholic pairing & added a couple of side dishes. At one point, the waiter forgot to bring the first drink pairing with a course, but he quickly stepped aside & asked the bartender to create an entirely new drink to accompany one of our sides. They were very transparent with us, explaining that it was something experimental & even reassuring us that if we didn't like it, they would make us another. I really appreciated that level of creativity & open communication. The food itself was excellent, & overall, it was a wonderful experience that was absolutely worth the price.

We had the five course tasting menu with a non alcoholic pairing & added a couple of side courses. At one point the server forgot to bring the first pairing with the course but made up for it by asking the bartender to create a brand new drink to pair with one of our side dishes. They were very transparent about it being something new & even reassured us that if we did not like it they would prepare something else. I really appreciated that level of creativity & open communication. The food itself was great & overall it was a wonderful experience that felt well worth the price.

My second time here. Still impressed by its food & service.

I order the tasting menu with 8 courses pairing with 5 glasses of Canadian wine( they called discovery ). During the 2.5 hours of dining I never get disappointed & bored but just enjoy the fun to explore the design of food.

The service stands out as one of the best in this trip.

An exceptional dining experience that far exceeded our expectations. Every plate was thoughtfully composed with meticulous attention to detail. The non-alcoholic beverage options are outstanding for those who prefer to abstain, & the wine pairings are perfectly curated to complement the meal.

The eight-course menu was absolutely delicious. Our regret was not starting with the wine pairing from the beginning. Halfway through, we realised the food was so good that it would have been a shame to have it without wine, so we added the pairing then. The wines themselves were not particularly outstanding tho. Additionally, there was a performance outside that was a bit too loud, which slightly disrupted the otherwise wonderful experience.

What a great experience. The food, wine & service were all amazing. We had the five course meal with the wine pairing. Everything was amazing. We especially loved the foie gras & the quail. The wines were all perfectly paired & very tasty.

I am fortunate enough to eat in restaurants all over the world, & this was the best meal I have had in a long time. Very thoughtful & creative combinations that seem I probably but somehow work like magic. The sommelier did a great job with the Discovery pairings, as well -- very fun & interesting!

A truly unforgettable experience! Credit to the front of house & kitchen teams alike. Party of 5 adults eating the 5 & 8 course tasting menus, with discovery & traditional wine pairings. Each course was delicious & well presented. Staff were extremely welcoming & knowledgeable about dishes/ingredients/wines. The atmosphere was classy. Some of the wine pairings were, shall we say, adventurous! Well done Buillon Bilk, we look forward to dining with you again!

We booked a table ahead. We were a group of three.

We all ordered the 8 course tasting menu. I also ordered the 7 discovery pairings. The 8 course tasting menu was supposed to be for people who came after 8pm but they made it available for us even though we were there quite early (5.30pm).

Absolutely loved each course! They all have rich flavors. The mushrooms were really tasty, with the right amount of crispy. Among the first five courses, scallop & quail were my favorite. For dessert, the cucumber ice cream was really refreshing. Definitely recommend! For the discovery tasting, I love the last ice cider the best. Fruity flavor but not too sweet. Perfect balance

The food was elevated & i love the fact that you can pair the food with non-alcoholics beverage. I choose the 5 services menu with non alcoholics beverages. I had a friend that took the discovery wines pairing. The food was amazing! However the pairings weren't all successful. I love the spot too, it's great for a date night or for any special occasion. It's a really good & unique experience :)

Great food. We did the 5 course tasting menu & everything was excellent. The drink pairings were really interesting too.

Must visit!! I did the 8 course tasting menu with the discovery wine pairings, which are all Canadian wines. The food was delicious, unique, & stunning. Each aspect was carefully thought out & not a detail overlooked. The staff was efficient, friendly, & perceptive. If you choose the tasting menu as well, be prepared to commit 2+ hours to fully enjoy the experience & don't drive. There's also a coat check, which alleviates the burden of the warming layers. I can't speak highly enough of this restaurant.
